Love chocolate? Me too! And mixed up with some crunchy pecan halves and chewy, creamy, delicious caramels…. YUM! Making Christmas turtle candy has become a tradition in our home. We make some for ourselves and make lots to gift to others.

Worried about the process of making candy? No need to: this homemade turtle candy recipe as easy as it gets. Only a few ingredients and a few minutes and you’re done!

You can use the pecans right out of the bag, but if you want to take your final taste up a few notches, you’ll want to roast them.

How do you roast pecans?

Roasting pecans is easy: toss them with a bit of melted butter and salt, arrange them in a single layer in a baking pan, and stick them in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes at 325 degrees, depending on your oven.

Take them out when slightly darkened. Mmmm… I can almost smell these! So good!
